Model-Driven Software Systems Development Using the Meta-Artifact Process
The importance of architecture for software systems is widely accepted, but the role of architecture in the overall development process is not so clear.Presenting an architecture-centric process, Model-Driven Software Systems Development Using the Meta-Artifact Process makes the role of architecture clear.At its core, this book is about developing software systems and, more specifically, software code.It describes three major innovations for making software, which are combined with five widely used enabling technologies, to provide a complete, hypothesis-driven software development process known as Meta-Artifact Process (MAP).Having complete requirements is essential for making good software and supports the hypothesis-driven MAP. MAP offers properties, qualities, and capabilities that help stakeholders and developers understand and reason about a domain and target systems of interest.MAP, through the central role of the Meta-Artifact and incorporating the view that a computer program is a hypothesis about the requirements, offers new ways to look at systems and their development, even changing the roles of developers and stakeholders. Recommending agile methods wherever appropriate while supporting the OMG Essence standard and working within an overarching architecture, MAP presents ways to ensure that the requirements are complete and correct.It helps to identify likely points during development to form alternative hypotheses about them. Because MAP requires an underlying software development process, it can provide that clarity to existing processes in which the organization’s developers are already proficient. This book provides concrete examples from two broad but diverse areas—Accounting Information Systems in the commercial area and a military command and control system—to show the wide applicability of MAP in both commercial and defense domains.

Demystifying Intelligent Multimode Security Systems : An Edge-to-Cloud Cybersecurity Solutions Guide
This open access book. Use this practical guide to understand the concepts behind Intelligent Multi-modal Security Systems (IMSS) and how to implement security within an IMSS system to improve the robustness of the devices and of the end-to-end solution. There are nearly half a million active IMSS cameras globally, with over 100 million added annually.These cameras are used across enterprises (companies, traffic monitoring, driver enforcement, etc.), in peoples’ homes, on mobile devices (drones, on-vehicle, etc.), and are worn on the body. IMSS systems with a camera and network video recorder for storage are becoming the normal infrastructure for capturing, storing, and transmitting video content (sometimes up to 100 streams) in a secure manner and while protecting privacy. Military, aerospace, and government entities are also embracing digital security and surveillance.IMSS content serves as evidence in courts of law. Security within all of these types of IMSS systems needs to be bolstered by leveraging Intel hardware and software as the last line of defense, and this book provides you with best practices and solutions for maximizing security in your system implementation.

Is old software still usable under old operating systems?
Old software can still be usable under old operating systems, as long as the software is compatible with the specific operating system. However, there may be limitations in terms of functionality and compatibility with newer hardware. Additionally, security vulnerabilities may be present in older software and operating systems, so it's important to consider the potential risks of using outdated technology. Overall, while old software can still be usable under old operating systems, it's important to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of doing so.

Management Control Systems, Decision-Making, and Innovation Development : The CDI Model
The systematic approach to innovation development today is one of the world’s most prominent scientific fields, and with good reason.When applied correctly, such system produces regular outcomes, which consistently drive lasting competitive advantage.Unfortunately, as much as it is beneficial, the orchestration of an undisturbed flow of multiple complex, dynamic, and flexible innovation development processes is structurally demanding. In this book, a recognised innovation management specialist sets the record straight, offering a comprehensive approach to the improvement of innovation efficiency with the use of management control system.Unlike other books on the subject, it proposes original representation – the CDI model – of the relationships between management control system, decision-making quality, and innovation system efficiency and explains why management control is fundamental to innovation management.In addition to that, inside the reader will find several original developments.These include: the info-deficiency (I-D) model, depicting the various parameters hindering decision-making in innovation development; the product innovation development (PID) system, offering the original function-based approach to innovation management; and the composite innovation index – specially designed tool intended to evaluate the efficiency of an innovation development system. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and advanced students in the fields of management, strategy, and innovation.

Blockchain Technology Solutions for the Security of IoT-Based Healthcare Systems
Blockchain Technology Solutions for the Security of IoT-Based Healthcare Systems explores the various benefits and challenges associated with the integration of blockchain with IoT healthcare systems, focusing on designing cognitive-embedded data technologies to aid better decision-making, processing and analysis of large amounts of data collected through IoT.This book series targets the adaptation of decision-making approaches under cognitive computing paradigms to demonstrate how the proposed procedures, as well as big data and Internet of Things (IoT) problems can be handled in practice. Current Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare systems are incapable of sharing data between platforms in an efficient manner and holding them securely at the logical and physical level.To this end, blockchain technology guarantees a fully autonomous and secure ecosystem by exploiting the combined advantages of smart contracts and global consensus.However, incorporating blockchain technology in IoT healthcare systems is not easy.Centralized networks in their current capacity will be incapable to meet the data storage demands of the incoming surge of IoT based healthcare wearables.

Are stereo systems or 5.1 systems better?
It ultimately depends on the individual's preferences and needs. Stereo systems are great for simple, two-channel audio playback and can provide high-quality sound for music and movies. On the other hand, 5.1 systems offer a more immersive experience with surround sound, making them ideal for home theater setups and gaming. If you prioritize a more immersive and spatial audio experience, a 5.1 system may be better for you. However, if you value simplicity and high-quality audio, a stereo system may be the better choice.

Why are photovoltaic systems called photovoltaic systems?
Photovoltaic systems are called photovoltaic systems because they directly convert light (photo) into electricity (voltaic). The term "photo" comes from the Greek word for light, and "voltaic" is derived from the name of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta, who is known for his work in electricity. Therefore, the term "photovoltaic" accurately describes the process by which these systems generate electricity from sunlight.

What are the differences between Python, C, C++, and Java in terms of software development and embedded systems?
Python is a high-level programming language known for its simplicity and readability, making it a popular choice for software development. C and C++ are lower-level languages that offer more control over hardware and memory management, making them suitable for embedded systems where efficiency is crucial. Java is a versatile language that can be used for a wide range of applications, including software development and embedded systems, but it is known for its platform independence and object-oriented programming features. Overall, the choice of programming language depends on the specific requirements of the project, with Python being more suitable for rapid development, C and C++ for embedded systems, and Java for cross-platform applications.
